‘A Quiet Place’ and ‘Rampage’ still tops
It’s another weekend of buzz vs. star power at the box office as the word-ofmouth sensation “A Quiet Place” finds itself neck and neck again with Dwayne Johnson’s “Rampage.” This time, buzz had the slight advantage.
Studio estimates Sunday placed “A Quiet Place,” with $22 million, in first and “Rampage” in second with $21 million, but it’s possible those numbers may shift when final results are tallied today.
Still, John Krasinski’s “A Quiet Place” continues to be a mini phenomenon. With a $17 million production budget, “A Quiet Place” has grossed $132.4 million from North American theaters in three weeks.
“Rampage,” too, is down only 41 percent domestically in its second weekend and continues to rake in the dollars globally. The film boasts a worldwide tally of $283 million, and Johnson has continued using his social media accounts to hype the film and thank audiences.
“I never take success like this for granted. Global success like this means so much,” Johnson posted on his Instagram account Saturday night.
The staying power of both somewhat overshadowed the newcomers, including Amy Schumer’s “I Feel Pretty” and the sequel to the 2001 cult comedy “Super Troopers,” both of which managed to find their own niche audiences despite negative reviews.
“I Feel Pretty,” released by STX Entertainment, grossed an estimated $16.2 million — a little less than half of what Schumer’s “Trainwreck” opened to in July 2015.
